Coordinating negative particle: 'and not', 'neither', 'nor'. Used to link together multiple negative statements or clauses, typically after a preceding negative (μή or οὐ), it extends or continues an existing negation to additional items, actions, or clauses. Functions similarly to 'nor' or 'neither' in English; rarely, expresses 'not even' in cumulative context emphasizing exclusion.

nor
| Morphological Notes | Coordinating conjunction (Gr,CC); compound negative particle used to continue or extend an existing negation. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Nor" faithfully reflects the compound negative force of μή (not) joined with δέ (and/but), extending a preceding negation to an additional element. As a coordinating conjunction, it links clauses or items under continued negation. |
